IOWA IN OCTOBER
0 suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather.
When loud the bumblebees •make haste,
Belated, thriftless vagrant,
And Golden Rod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fragrant;
When Gentians roll their fringes tight,
To save them for the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Withont a sound of warning;
•
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining,
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbine twining;
When springs run low, and on the brooks,
In idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sing noiseless in the hush
Of ,woods, for ·winter waiting;
0 sums and skies and flowers of June,
Count all yo1~r boasts together,
Love loveth best of all the year
October's bright blue weather.
-Helen Hunt Jackson
